Please, as an Investor in the US markets I never understod how much manipulation there is. I invest my money and get robed by the unorthodox ways of manipulating the markets by the big market makers and hedgefunds. They short stocks til infinity Buying and selling thru dark pools and of the books trying to fix the price and leaving retail investors BLEEDING right before the eyes of the SEC and FINRA that are supposed to look after every part in the markets.. They should not be able to short beyond their capacity. The Synthetic shorts need to be discoverd as soon as possible.

As a retail investor it would be nice to see increased transparency from financial institutions. No more naked shorts, or at least increased naked short share exposure, decreased use of Dark Pool trading, required reporting from every institution on their positions (short and long) to organizations such as FINRA or Ortex etc, and forced coverage of FTDs when they are due. All of these are completely obtainable.

The illegal [REDACTED] thats happening is appalling. How can you guys not open your eyes and see this? DO YOUR JOB!!!!!

Data transparency is the hallmark of reliability, responsibility, and accountability. As such, all information about short sale positions, short interest, etc. should be publicly and freely available in real time immediately. Failing that, as soon as possible - which, given the electronic nature of these transactions, ought to be virtually immediately. Anything less increases corruption, collusion, and financial treason.

Stop charging small fines to hedge funds manipulating the stock market. They break the federal laws, knowing that you, FINRA, SEC and DTCC will just give them a pat-on-the-back. All of the recent actions we've seen you, FINRA, the SEC and DTCC taken as of recent points to collusion with Market Makers, and hedge funds. It's the very reason why the children of the FBI and CIA have convinced our family members to look into all 3 said (including you, a.k.a FINRA) practices. We know the corruption now, the world can see it and we won't stop seeking justice. We won the bet and saved AMC and GME.

I would like to see a more open and transparent market with instant short position reporting to the general public. I would also like to see instant reporting of any failure-to-delivers. I think this information should be public to any retail investor. I believe this will help limit manipulation and allow the market to be free and fair.

The hedge funds are not covering any of their shorts on $AMC. It’s horrible that the SEC won’t step in and make them cover. People are losing faith in the stock market and will be horrible for the economy. People won’t want to invest anymore. The SEC needs to make it right.

I have attempted to read and understand the proposed rule changes set forth in these reporting enhancements on the topic of Short Interest Positions. I would like to make sure that my voice is heard as a full supporter of these rule changes! The reporting changes contained in these enhancements are critical to not only have them PASSED but also to have them 100% enforced. The amount of manipulation within the larger entities of the markets and the use of synthetic shares to try to drive retail buyers out of the market is down right criminal.

Stop enabling the short selling fraud so that you may get a job after your tenure. Thanks, evan

1. Disclosures of short positions by institutions and hedge funds on a shorter time window (preferably daily) 2. Much heftier fines for participating in the illegal practice of naked shorting 3. More regulations of dark pools and the creation of synthetics shares 4. Daily reports on margin and those who are over leveraged in a short position 5. More up to date reporting and transparency in regards to short selling
